This isn't conflicting, it's just shit. This has no place in a free society, and I have zero time for any arguments to the contrary. Technology has all the promise in the world to improve and enrich our lives, but instead it's turning our world into a digital panopticon where we're constantly tracked and targeted. I'll bet you any money that this tech is going to be used for advertising as well, if it isn't already.

Yeah, society is not really free until it gives free grocery supplies to every one.

I can't tell if you mean that, but there is actually a strong argument for it, even while to some people it sounds like a hilarious joke.

Since we have machines and mass production an knowledge of biology and soil and weather etc, the resources it takes to provide at least staple food are now very little per person compared to history.

I would LOVE it if part of my taxes were used for free food for all.

Instead, we're all paying an extra 2.5 to 3% tax on every single transaction in our lives to the credit card companies. Now that's a hilarous joke.
